Abstract
This article highlights the challenges inherent in bringing a feminist pers pective to women's issues in a woman's profession. It also reviews efforts by the Council On Social Work Education's Commission on the Role and Status of Women to determine how the accreditation process is perceived as a vehi cle for improving the conditions and addressing the gender-based concerns o f women faculty and students and increasing the inclusion of women's conten t in the curriculum.
